# Norwegian Language Q&A Dataset

This Norwegian language dataset is a collection of question-and-answer entries from [Språkrådet](https://sprakradet.no/), the Language Council of Norway. The data was collected from the section of the website called [Språkspørsmål og svar](https://sprakradet.no/spraksporsmal-og-svar/), which contains questions and answers on the subject of Norwegian language usage and grammar. The data contains a mix of Bokmål and Nynorsk. The data was collected on March 7, 2025.

*This dataset was collected and shared with Språkrådet's permission.*

## Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of 1095 rows of question and answer pairs. 378 of the rows contain the word "Nynorsk". Often this means the text content for this question is all Nynorsk, but some entries are mainly in Bokmål but briefly mention Nynorsk. Depending on your use case you might need to filter these further.

The dataset contains five columns:

1. **link** - URL for each question and answer page  
2. **title** - question title 
3. **question** - question text
4. **answer** - answer text
5. **lang_type** - label for Bokmål ("nob") or Nynorsk ("nno")
